287 East 162nd Street, Bronx, NY 10451
The 21-unit, 5-story tenement building at 287 East 162nd Street in Concourse Village, built in 1911, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years under the ownership of Dhanpaul Singh. Most pressing are the ongoing rodent problems, with recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, though earlier inspections in 2025 and 2024 had passed without violations.
The building has faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024, affecting either entire building or individual apartments, with inspectors often unable to gain access for verification. Significant building maintenance concerns emerged in 2024, including issues with garbage/recycling storage, water leaks, and pest problems, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that required owner correction. Recent violations from June 2024 identified multiple maintenance issues in apartment 1D, including problems with fire escape access, bathroom tiles, kitchen paint and plaster, and several concerning illegal rooming units that were subsequently addressed.
The building has a history of illegal modifications and occupancy concerns, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized work and illegal conversions between 2022-2024, though inspections often found no violations at the time. Active environmental control board violations from 2024 indicate unauthorized occupancy contrary to building records, with associated penalties. Despite these issues, the building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2022, showing no active infestations in recent years.
